Everything about this stay was 5 stars. The home, the facilities, the location and the beautiful managers were all fabulous. We celebrated Christmas with our extended family and there was ample space for everyone. The home is so private and thoughtfully laid out that we all had space to retreat if needed. The pool and spa were a big hit with the adults and kids alike.We will be back!

The private bush retreat was amazing. I spoke to Sean upon check in and he was so lovely. The house was massive and beautifully designed. Rooms were great sizes and the beds felt like you were sleeping on a cloud. Bathrooms were spotless. Kitchen was well equipped and huge! Unfortunately the weather was not on our side this trip but we were able to enjoy the pool on your first day after check in and the jacuzzi on the second day as it was raining. The last day the sun was coming out so we figured why not go for a last minute dip. The only negative thing was a few people were cut from the broken tiles from the pool but it was just minor cuts, nothing serious. Other than than we enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

Secluded beauty

We needed a quiet place for a few days and this lovely home ticked all the boxes. Pool is gorgeous, spa amazing, tennis just down the hill. Extra effort to provide privacy for the homes on large country estate. The house was well planned and comfortable. The garage level to upstairs, spotless, and large enough open back of car whiile door is closed. Views lovely over bushland on steep hill. Only negative is that we didn't bring our friends or family. Would be a great escape for a gathering. Plenty of space for a large group. Adam and Simone friendly and efficient.

Stunning location, house was beautiful, Rod was a fantastic host.

Myself and a few of my closest friends spent 3 nights in the Gymea House over the New Years period. We were absolutely blown away by the house and surrounds. The house was sparkling clean, the kitchen, bedrooms and living spaces were spacious and had everything you could imagine and more! It felt like a proper retreat and we had the most wonderful time. Rod was a lovely and friendly host. He was very easy to communicate with and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back again later in the year! Thanks again Rod and the team at Noonaweena.

Amazing property

We had an amazing time at this property. With such a large group it's easy to feel closed in on holidays but with such a spacious house we all felt as though we had our own private retreat. Having the pool and spa as well made for an amazing time for the kids who stayed in the water all day. The house is filled with almost every single item that you need making it even more wonderful. Thank you to Rod and Maureen for taking the time to answer all our questions and to be of assistance when we needed help!!
